Background

About David Dai Weld

As a highly skilled technical writer, I’ve always been laser focused on users, and the usability of both the products I document and the documentation itself. — My special talent lies in acquiring a deep technical grasp of a subject while still viewing it from the perspective of the uninformed user, whether expert or novice. With insight into this dichotomy, I can produce robust, coherent, effective documentation that anticipates and prevents potential misunderstanding. — In my career I’ve created content that explains concepts, demonstrates use cases, clarifies procedures, illustrates hardware, and presents reference material to application developers, technological novices, and every audience in between. The subject matter includes development tools, RESTful and SOA APIs, software integration, proprietary languages, application UIs, search patterns, minicomputer environments, and hardware basics. Testimonials from managers and colleagues consistently describe me as a highly talented writer, outstanding mentor, and team player with excellent communication skills, a congenial attitude, and a strong technical understanding, who relates well to audiences at all levels, and provides team members with a calming influence in times of stress.
